I was feeling sad for Kathy too after that Leno debacle. :( This episode further cemeted my belief that Leno is a jerk. I've never liked the way he gets too "dirty old man"-ish with the young, female guests .... It just comes off as sleazy and pervish.

I have never liked Leno... and for a man that is far from slim and attractive... he has no place saying anything about anyone's looks. He took a cheap shot.... and lets be honest in that picture of Kathy and Carmen... Kathy looked great.
~~~~
Kathy cracked me up when she told the story about Michael Douglas' shotgun wedding & Barbara Walters being snide to her...
~~~~
I have ranted about Starr Jones before... but does anyone recall that Kathy and Starr were doing the Red Carpet Shows for E!? Starr never once said Kathy's name during those telecast without contempt in her voice. Fact is... Starr Jones has no class. As soon as that terrible show "The View" is canceled.... Starr will never be heard from again.
~~~~
I have always got Kathy Griffin's humor. She normally talks about her personal experience's with these people... whom think they are just a little bit better than everyone else... and she just enlightens people to her take on it. I see nothing wrong with it... she makes just as much fun at herself.
~~~~
I never realize she got "banned" from the talk shows.
What has me curious... Is she is banned, from making honest comments, about these so call "famous" pinheads?
Plus I am stunned that she is banned from Letterman. He made a career out of insulting everyone...

Star Jones is a witch and completely unprofessional. If they ever get rid of her, I may actually watch that show again.

My educated guess on why she is banned and/or not invited on some talk shows is because she makes fun of celebrities. So, talk shows may not invite her on becuase then other celebrities may not want to go on the talk show that "supports" her comedy about celebrities. Or the celebrities she talks about in her stand up my refuse to go on the show if Kathy is on. Just an educated guess. I have no insider information.

Just a heads-up to Canadians in the Toronto area: this show will begin airing Wed. night on Toronto 1, an independant channel. (Aug. 24, 9:00 pm) Toronto 1 is listed in the Starweek TV guide as channel 52, but on my TV it's on channel 15.

I caught tonight's show for the first time, and I thought it was hilarious. :lol I've always loved her, so I assumed it would be funny, but she was hysterical. I loved her gay friends, and her 'homecoming' was a hoot. It's easy to see where she gets her humor...her parents were a riot. :hahaup

It was a little sad when her parents couldn't just say, "We're so happy for you! Way to go!" but instead had to make critical "jokes" when she told them about landing that job. And then the stylist making insulting comments. She did the right thing to fire him, which indicates to me she can take care of herself and probably isn't as insecure as she jokes about being.

Those Hollywood types all have insane body issues. I could not believe it when Kathy was criticizing her body re. wearing a bathing suit on Celebrity Mole. She had a rock-hard stomach and is still so toned on this show. Plus those are great natural boobs and not just "average" like that nasty stylist said. What does he know? So what if she's a size 6 (fabulous!) and "short." She looks great.

There's something about Kathy that just makes us want to stick up for her. Probably the knowledge that she is saying exactly what we think, and reacting to things just as we would. She really is fantastic. Smart, funny, and deserving of all her success and that great house and husband. I hope she reads this and knows how likeable she is to the average viewer.
